Yeah and I understand your piont, I'm just saying that I would much rather have a decent knowledge of a beleif before I blidly follow it.

religion is liek politics it trys to rule the world! blah such pathetic followers of some form of belief

Hey, I'm just saying I would like to study religion. And I do see your piont, no offense to anyone but look at the Catholic church.

my opinion? on politicsreligion or pretty damn close?

politics equal religion*

I don't think polotics equal religion, I just think some religions take to many fucking q's from politics, and that pisses me off

yeah thats were i get the politics=religion.. basically there are pepel pushing and pressuring peopel to be this religion.. you know? and liek politics you cant go anywere without hearing it and some how you always here of religion too and it just links up so much in some forms and it does seem to get annyoing to me, thatswhy i dont watch tv so much cause its what you here.. i mean religion is reasons why we goto war, and then politicsi s involved with it.. religion=politics... tha sounds better.... it really does without religion we wouldnt have politics bitchin and shit!

Yeah if religion wasn't as big of a faction I don't think all the political people would be such assholes

yeah its pretty true.. war breaks out so many times because of religion..

True, well it's been fun but i have to go feed this stupid horse, if you want you can leave me a message at yahoo. Hope to talk to you again, see ya

later

I'm back

people turn ANYthing into politics, religion, faith doesnt. for christians they should be concerned with god, not a seven thousand pound roof on an old building or elderly pedophiles. it's not the magic/religion, it's the people and their pursuit of power

I'm faithless.

Not an atheist. If you're an atheist, you have faith.

Any religion, or none could be right. I consider them all to have an equal possibility of being right or wrong. I don't know, because I wasn't there when this thing was created, or evolved, and there's nothing any mortal human being can say to me to make me believe in any religion.

If a burning bush talks to me, then I'll become a follower of whatever it says is the truth.

Actually, my first thought would be that it's all the LSD I took in the late 80s coming back to haunt me.

I partly agree with this statement. Clergy can definitely warp people's minds and do. Why else would we have fanaticsm of any kind? I am a Christian Scientist and we don't have clergy.

A Christian Scientist? Please tell me that this has nothing to do with "Christian Science."

and what if it does?

What is wrong with Christian Science?

It is nonsensical. It doesn't make anymore sense than saying "Buddha Science" or "Muslim Science." Just because the word 'science' is in there, it doesn't make it really science. It's just another name for Creationism, which is not science.

Science is a process, not a religion.

Science is a word. Religion is a word. Christian is a word. The meanings and significance of words change over time. Who are you to hedge?
